Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend the life of a graphite component such as a connection post for heater and further improve strength thereof without damaging characteristics inherent in a graphite such as superior electrical conductivity and thermal shock resistance. SOLUTION: The graphite component of an article is coated with a pyrolytic graphite (pG), so that mechanical strength is higher than an uncoated graphite component at least by 25%. In use application of connector such as a heater used for a semiconductor process assembly, a pG coating constituent is over-coated with at least a protective layer 9 of electric insulating material. In such a case, a part of the pG coating graphite component is exposed to form an electric connection part to the assembly (not coated with the protective layer). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
